What Context Anchoring does

Context Anchoring manages per-feature living documents that capture decisions, constraints, and reasoning across AI sessions. Use it to create, load, or enrich context for a feature during design, implementation, bugfixes, or refactors.

Context Anchoring is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Context Anchoring comes from a repository tagged agent, agent-framework, agent-skills, agentic and agentic-ai.

Excerpt

Context Anchoring

Scope

Feature-level only — anchors decisions as a feature flows from design → implementation → bugfix → refactor.

Config Resolution

This skill manages a directory of per-feature context docs. Resolution order:

Read .lattice/config.yaml in the repo root.
If found and paths.context_base is set → use that directory as the context base (the Create behavior creates it on demand).
If there is no config file or no paths.context_base key → use the default .lattice/context/.

Each feature gets one doc at <context_base>/<feature-name>.md. No default principles, no overlay modes, no override files -- just a thin template and per-feature docs that grow through enrichment.

Why Context Anchors Exist
